Legislative Session – Week 9 Recap

After a very busy 60 days, the Washington State Legislature adjourned Sine Die moments after 10 PM March 8. This was only the second time in the past 10 years that the Legislature has adjourned on time. The 2017 session went into multiple overtimes, clocking in at an unprecedented 193 days. With 2018 elections just months away, legislators prioritized meeting the deadline, and kept a quick pace throughout the session, moving and passing bills faster than usual in a short session.
